Has MARK WRIGHT had a hair transplant?

The cast of ITV’s The Only Way is Essex are known for their preening, pampering, and general vanity. Ex-cast member Mark Wright was no exception to this – fake tan, moisturiser, manicures and… hair transplants? While he’s always had a pretty good head of hair, Mark’s distinctive widow’s peak hairline seems to have crept forward over the past year or two. So has he had a hair transplant?

2010

The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE) first appeared on our screens in October 2010. The ‘scripted reality’ show’s first series focused heavily on Essex lad Mark Wright as he went around the town generally getting involved in soap opera style dramas.

Born in 1987, Mark was 23 when the first series was filmed.

While you couldn’t exactly say he was losing his hair at this young age, Mark did have a rather prominent widow’s peak hairline.

This doesn’t necessarily mean that Mark was suffering from androgenetic alopecia (typical male pattern hair loss) at this time though.

Take a look at the comparison below. The left picture is from 2010, the right from 2015.

It’s a hard one to judge as it’s not like he was massively losing his hair in the first place.

But his hairline does look lower in recent photos – even when it’s swept back.

No product currently available could transform a mature hairline back into a juvenile one. It’s one thing to thicken thinning hair but it’s a completely different challenge to regrow hair on slick-bald areas. Even if he ate his bodyweight in dutasteride and bathed in minoxidil every night, it’s unlikely that it would lower his hairline like this.
